Where is a Riviera speed sensor located?

There are two parts to the speed sensor, one is located at the bottom of the timing chain cover, this is the sensor that has the electrical harness plug into it and is on the outside of the timing chain cover. The other part is more complicated and this is the sensor located inside the timing chain cover and is like a magnet and its plugged in a hole on the lower timing chain gear. I replaced the magnet sensor on a 1988 buick riviera, the one that is located inside the timing belt cover, it is a pain to get to it, once you remove the timing belt cover you have to remove the timing chain and the timing chain sprockets,, the sensor is located behing the timing chain lower gear so you have to remove the gear and the sensor plugs into a hole on the gear itself. The way it works is like this,,,the magnet that is located on the lower gear inside the timing chain cover turns and when it turns it passes trough the sensor located on the outside of the timing gear when they meet it creates a electrical pulse read by the computer and it tells it the speed of the engine.
